Hmmm. Try a static IP on the IPAQ. Run myipconfig and write down the dns
servers. If it didn't give you any, you could find them out via another PC
on your lan. Then go to settings/connections/advanced/network card/network
adaptors/IPAQ WLAN wireless adaptor. Select specific IP and give it an IP
that is on your subnet but outside the DHCP range. Assuming the router is
set up as default then try 192.168.1.50, 255.255.255.0 for subnet and
192.168.1.1 for default gateway. DNS IP's on the next page.
 
Also try a soft reset afterwards. I have found these rather useful with
WM2003 :P

I have heard of DHCP troubles with IPAQ's and Linksys gear, but in my
experience it has worked fine. Possibly because I have newer firmware in the
router. Did you get the latest firmware for your router ??
